This product was infested with weevils.
On or about October 13, 1937, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of Florida, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 113 bags of 
flour at Jacksonville, Fla., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about December 23, 1936, and May 21 and June 29, 1937, 
from New York, N. Y., by Hecker-J ones-Jewell Milling Division of the Standard 
Milling Co., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was labeled in part: "Hecker-Jones-Jewell Milling Div. Standard 
Milling Co., New York."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On January 15, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
